Port Fouad Al-Masry player Hossam Arafat was involved in an accident on Monday during a friendly match with Customs.

In detail, the spectators of the match in the city of Port Said were surprised by a violent collision between Arafat and his teammate from the opposing team, as a result of which the Port Fouad player fell to the ground, motionless and immobile.

Immediately, the medical team rushed to the field and examined the player, where it was found that he had swallowed his tongue and suffered a concussion, as a result of which he fell into a coma. This prompted doctors to quickly transfer him to Al-Salam International Hospital.
